SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Dec. 14, 2016 – Celebrated as one of the best places to work, PlanetOne Communications, the IT and telecom industry’s preferred connectivity partner, is pleased to announce the promotion of Jake Schuman and Ross Thompson.

As Senior Channel Manager, Jake continues to head the company’s fast-growing Orange County, Calif., offices and serve as a lead executive for PlanetOne’s strategic accounts, expanding MSP practice and West Coast new business efforts. Jake joined PlanetOne in 2014, and is celebrated for his efforts in establishing and growing the company’s MSP business, as well as closing record 2016 sales deals with many of PlanetOne’s Preferred Providers including Masergy and Rackspace.

In his expanded role as National Channel Manager, Ross takes on responsibility for growing PlanetOne’s channel accounts across the U.S. and accelerating the company’s success with Preferred Providers and nationally-focused channel partners. Ross joined PlanetOne in 2011, and is being recognized for his continued efforts to elevate the PlanetOne partner experience and ensure the company is seen by its channel partners as one of the most valuable players within the partner ecosystem.

“Jake and Ross are hard-working, results-minded, relationship-building executives who share in and demonstrate daily PlanetOne’s commitment to continuously earning the business of our providers and partners,” said Lauren Shapiro, president, PlanetOne Communications. “On behalf of the entire team at PlanetOne, congratulations to Jake and Ross on these well-deserved promotions. Together, we have worked hard and played hard in 2016 to deliver a simply phenomenal year for our channel partners, and thanks to everyone’s relentless efforts our forecast for 2017 is off the charts.”
